These two don’t usually mix very well as I found out last night when I had an unfortunate pheasant strike on my ride home.

22 Jul 2013
As some of you may know I replaced my R125 with a very nice orange and black CBR600RR. I love the sports bike shape but had one slight issue
Shoei Qwest Motorcycle Helmet Review
